About Dahecun Site and Museum
A Neolithic settlement on the northern edge of Zhengzhou, lived in mainly during the Yangshao period and later in the Longshan, Erlitou and Shang periods, where excavations since 1972 have found house foundations, burials and much painted pottery. Its best-known find is a row of four joined houses whose walls still stand about a metre high, dated to about 5,000 years ago. A new site museum in the Dahecun archaeological park, which opened in 2025, shows more than 1,600 objects on the Yangshao culture.
